Keeping your dishwasher clean ensures it operates smoothly and delivers sparkling dishes. Using Affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner is an easy and effective way to remove soap scum, limescale, and grease build up. Here’s how to keep your dishwasher in top condition with Affresh®.
Why Use Affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner?
Over time, your dishwasher collects soap scum, food debris, and undissolved detergent. These can build up in various parts of the machine, like the tub, racks, drain, and recirculation hoses, affecting its performance. Affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner is made to clean hard-to-reach areas. It helps your dishes come out sparkling.
Easy Steps to Clean with Affresh®
Step 1. Prep Your Dishwasher
You can either load your dishwasher with dishes or run it empty. Both options work fine. However, using Affresh® while running a full load helps to descale your glassware and dishes.
Step 2. Place the Affresh® Tablet
If you’re cleaning with dishes, place the Affresh® tablet in the bottom of the machine. Then, fill your detergent dispenser with your usual detergent. If you’re running the machine empty, place the Affresh® tablet in the dispenser. For machines with extra build up, use one tablet in the dispenser and another in the bottom.
Step 3. Run a Normal Wash Cycle
Run the dishwasher on a normal wash cycle. This lets the Affresh® dishwasher cleaner break down limescale, grease, and other residues. It leaves your machine fresh and clean.
Step 4. Leave the Door Ajar
Once the cycle is finished, leave the dishwasher door slightly open to allow it to dry completely. This reduces the chance of odors forming inside the machine.
Benefits of Using Affresh®
Regularly using Affresh® dishwasher cleaner helps prevent build up. It stops detergent, mineral deposits, and soap scum from accumulating over time. This not only keeps your dishwasher clean but also ensures it operates smoothly. Regular cleaning helps your machine tackle everyday household chores and keeps it smelling fresh.
How Often Should You Use Affresh®?
For best results, use Affresh® once a month. This maintenance will help your dishwasher work its best. It will prevent a build up that can harm its performance. Additionally, setting a monthly reminder can keep your cleaning schedule on track.
Can You Use Affresh® with Other DIY Hacks?
While DIY methods like using vinegar and baking soda can help with some cleaning, they aren’t as effective for heavy build up or limescale. Chlorine bleach can permanently damage and discolor stainless steel dishwashers. Affresh® dishwasher cleaner provides a safe, effective alternative to these DIY methods.
Preventing Dishwasher Build up
Also to using Affresh® monthly, you can take a few steps to keep your dishwasher running well:
- Clean your dishwasher’s bottom filter regularly. It prevents clogs from food and grease.
- Avoid overloading your dishwasher so that the water can reach all surfaces.
- Use the correct amount of detergent to prevent the build up of soap scum and surfactants.
- Run hot water in your kitchen sink before starting your dishwasher. It will improve the results.
Affresh® vs. Regular Detergent
Regular detergent cleans your dishes. But it doesn’t tackle the build up in your dishwasher’s internal parts, like the seals, arms, and basins. This is where Affresh® comes in. It works with your detergent to clean the machine. It removes build up that regular detergents leave behind.
Conclusion
Using Affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner regularly can keep your dishwasher in top shape. It will clean better and last longer. It’s a simple solution to tackle soap scum, limescale, and other unwanted build-ups that can affect the performance of your machine. Make it a part of your monthly cleaning routine, and enjoy fresh, clean dishes every time.
